The New York Giants will visit the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Is Tyrone Tracy Jr. Playing in Week 17?
Tracy is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Giants’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Tracy in Week 17?
Any concerns about this being a committee are long gone at this point.
Tyrone Tracy held a 14-snap edge over Devin Singletary last week against the Vikings and, more importantly, handled four of the five running back red zone touches.
He’s handled 18 touches in consecutive games (he had 10 carries before Jaxson Dart had a single pass attempt on Sunday) and in four of his past five, a level of usage that we have to label with the team taking a cautious approach with their rookie QB these days.
- Offensive stability
- Role
- Matchup
At this point in the season, anyone who checks two of those boxes is going to be a starter in most spots. I have my questions on the first topic, but the other two are in play and that’s enough to land Tracy comfortably inside of my top 20 at the position.
